The Flight Safety Foundation says 54 percent of all accidents could potentially be avoided if the flying pilot had executed a timely go-around, simply bringing up the power and returning for another attempt at landing, often because the first approach was in some way unstable. The FSF recently learned that 83 percent of runway excursions studied over the past 16 years could also have been avoided if only the crew had gone around. In January, the crew of a Boeing 747 waited too long to attempt a go-around during a botched approach to Manas International airport in Kyrgyzstan. The aircraft crashed during the go-around, killing all four crewmembers and 35 people on the ground.

As pilots, co-pilots here....why are so few go arounds being executed...in your opinion?
Is the study above accurate in its conclusions?
